[Last name withheld], Jackson[Archive]: Young Traveling Man's Creative Journals and Sketchbook New Hampshire / Boston, Massachusetts, 2008. Near Fine. A small archive consisting of four notebooks and one sketchbook containing diary entries, artwork, poetry, and general musings written by a young man from 2002 through to 2008. Small quarto compostion books, measuring 9.75" x 7.5", with cardstock covers and taped spines. 200., 200., 120., and 34pp. Quarto sketchbook with black leatherette boards. Measuring 11" x 8.5". 90pp. Approximately 250,000 words. There is one color photograph of three men measuring 6"x 4". All items have some light wear to the spine ends and corners thus near fine. Four notebooks and one sketchbook filled with drawings, poetry, short stories, and diary entries by a young man during his early to mid-20s. Jackson's sketchbook is dated 2002 and his first journal is dated 2003 with the final entry dated March 21, 2008. Most of the entrees are about his life after high school and the fear of becoming an adult, "halfway through my twentieth year I was consumed by a fear of becoming another drone of mankind's machine." His entries often talk about his financial issues, not having a job or not having a very good one, and his hardships with finding a girlfriend, "My basic human ineptitude of maintaining functional relationships." He even writes in one of the notebooks, "I'm sorry. I know you don't want to read all this crap. I know you've got all your insurmountable problems". He writes of riding his motorcycles for thousands of miles to places like Norfolk, Phoenix, San Diego, Albuquerque, Dallas, Philadelphia, Wilmington, and Chicago. Although the entries about his motorcycle are often fond he writes, "The road has ruined me," and explains his several failed relationships, blaming himself heavily for them. He pines over the girls he likes and writes entry after entry about them, "I wanted to run out and pick her up and carry her where ever she wanted to go." Unfortunately, each relationship seems to end abruptly with no tangible explanation of why.Jackson grew up in New Hampshire and briefly writes about how kind people are there in comparison to the people he's met in Boston where he studied photography. He has several pages dedicated to website ideas for his photography; however the websites apparently do not exist today. Jackson's books are filled to the brim with doodles and finished pictures. He briefly mentions making and selling his artwork. The drawings are often of a lone man with a gun and sunglasses getting into trouble, often on his motorcycle. There are several small comics, one about drinking coffee, another about a simple man's life. The illustrations are in black and white and usually feature both extreme detail and cartoon elements. In 2006 through to 2008, Jackson starts off the book with ramblings of 9/11 conspiracies and hateful remarks to himself, others, and the world. He plays in a band named "Terrorist" and explains that the band's goal is to bring metal music closer to God. Towards the end of 2007, Jackson begins writing about how he wants to change and become a better person. Several pages are filled with the same phrases written over and over again, some of which include; "I will attain independence through art & Diligence," and "Enlightenment through positive thinking." However, it seems every other entry including the last one talks about how he still hasn't gotten any closer to obtaining his goals in 2008.An extensive collection of art, short stories, and history of a young traveling man's life.

FREY, James and Terry Richardson. (Cover photograph by Richard Prince)Bright Shiny Morning: Wives Wheels Weapons New York: JMc & GHB Editions, 2008. All elements fine.. Deluxe Edition. Portfolio. Number 3 of 10 numbered copies, issued with nine 16 x 20 inch signed and numbered photographs by Terry Richardson, five in color and four in black and white, housed in a dropback portfolio with a special enclosure for the book. This artist's book, published by JMc & GHB Editions, consists of three vignettes from Frey's novel, Bright Shiny Morning. The stories are illustrated by Terry Richardson's photographs of Los Angeles, with a tipped-in image announcing each section. Richardson has illustrated it with humorous images of breastfeeding MILFs brandishing rifles, holding trophies, and bent over in hot tubs, but it is his aerial black and white shots of the Los Angeles freeway system that turn this cool collaboration into a finely honed and executed photobook.

Artes de Mexico, Mexico City 2008 - 215 pp., profusely illustrated in color and black & white; quarto (12 x 11.75 inches), original black boards, pictorial jacket. An in-depth study of the famed Spanish/Mexican surrealist artist Maria de los Remedios Varo y Uranga (1908-1963). Remedios Varo's artistic education included a diploma (in 1930) from the Real Academia de Bellas Artes de San Fernando, in Madrid - Salvador Dali's alma mater. Having first left Spain for Paris during the Spanish Civil War, Remedios Varo fled Nazi-occupied Paris with her second husband, Surrealist poet Benjamin Peret, arriving in Mexico in December, 1941. The artist had immersed herself in the world of surrealist art both in Spain and later in Paris and brought surrealist ideals to Mexico. It took a while for her to gain recognition in a country where Diego Rivera, Frieda Kahlo, and muralism held sway, but recognition and acclaim did come. Spanish language edition is still in print but this English language translation has become quite scarce.

[Malutzki, Peter] .Collagebuch eins. Flörsheim, Main, Germany: Peter Malutzki, 2008. Flörsheim, Main, Germany:: Peter Malutzki,, 2008.. Edition of 20. 20 x 28.4 cm (7.9 x 11.2"); 36 pages, Green mould-made paper. Design, handset, and letterpress by Peter Malutzki. Linen-over-board cover with front label. In slipcase. Numbered and signed by the artist. Collage material from original pages of old books (some over 20 years old), red mould made-paper, and old correction labels.&#11;Peter Malutzki: "'Collagebuch eins' was not just meant to be a book with 14 collages pasted into it; it was an attempt (at least, it was my - probably still typically encyclopedic - goal) to exemplify and call into question the architecture of a book that is supposed to combine 'texts' and images. The 'textual message' is conveyed by rectangular shapes printed in red using brass rules. Starting with a simple rectangle on the first page, the shapes are increasingly sub-divided on each page in the course of the book. The succinct message in these 'dummy text blocks' on the first page is: 'a rectangle.' On the next page, the rectangle is divided horizontally by a line through the middle, so the message is 'two rectangles on top of each other.' On the following page, the shape is divided vertically in the middle, producing 'two rectangles next to each other.' A slightly more complicated division of the rectangle produces '12 small rectangles surrounding a large rectangle.' All of these red 'text blocks' are on the left side of the double-page spread. On the right side, the collage images come into play. A green rectangle serves as their frame or 'connection point.' To me, their unpredictable, spontaneous forms create an intriguing contrast with the strict blocks of lines. For the collages, I used pages from old books as well as red mould-made paper and red-and-white proofing stickers from the 19th century. The paper in these old books, some of them printed more than 200 years ago, and the brass rule printing on the green mold-made paper bring these two levels together. The book paper contributes 'real' legible text to the image pages, even if only in a fragmentary way, while the intended 'text pages' are seen more as graphic images.
